"Gun Control" and Weapons Confiscation, a Tyrants Tool of Oppression

Remember Waco, note the U.S. Flag and the State of Alabama Flag flying on the M-60 tank. Make no mistake, the purpose of the Second Amendment is for the citizens to take arms in the prevention of such tyrannical actions of criminals and government.

 

 

A horrible picture; a picture of a burned child in the aftermath of Waco. Did this child and the other 46 innocent women and children deserve to be murdered. Where is the outrage now when agents of the United States Government murdered 46 innocent women and children at Waco Texas utilizing gas outlawed by the Geneva Conventions, military equipment in our own nation was used against BABIES? Many were infants and children under 12 years of age. There was no prosecution for the murdering of the innocents. 

Now misinformed folks want to remove the citizens right to defend themselves with semi-automatic assault weapons from tyrants in our own government and criminals? The move to confiscate weapons: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/16/feinstein-to-introduce-assault-weapons-ban-bill/comment-page-8/

Have you not seen the news crew video of armed officers beating up an old woman and citizens who were attempting to defend their homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina? Their homes folks, police and the military broke into their homes conducted illegal searches, assaulted citizens and stole their firearms. No prosecution for those crimes.

Here is the video

How about it, do you think this is justice in the United States of America?

The following mixed media displays make good points.

Legal Drugs resulting in school shootings. Is there a move to ban these drugs, a likely cause of psychotic behavior?

 

Death by physicians. Should we ban doctors and health care??

 

Shall we ban vehicles because idiots drive drunk or inebriated because of drugs?

 

 Commentary and quotes by famous Americans on the Right to Bear Arms, our Second Amendment.

“And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the Press, or the rights of Conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; …”Samuel Adams

quoted in the Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer, August 20, 1789, “Propositions submitted to the Convention of this State”

 

“Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.”George Washington

First President of the United States

 

“Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not.”Thomas Jefferson

Third President of the United States

 

“The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that … it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; … “Thomas Jefferson

letter to Justice John Cartwright, June 5, 1824

 

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive. ---Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787).

 

The whole of that Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals...[I]t establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of.

---Albert Gallatin to Alexander Addison, Oct 7, 1789, MS. in N.Y. Hist. Soc.-A.G. Papers, 2.

 

Saint George Tucker (1752-1828) served as a colonel in the Virginia militia, was wounded in the Revolutionary War, was a law professor at William and Mary, and later was a justice on the Virginia Supreme Court from 1804 to 1811. He was also a friend of Thomas Jefferson. In 1803 he published a five-volume edition of Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England. Some of his quotes:

 

"This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty .... The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." 

 

"If, for example, a law be passed by congress, prohibiting the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates, or persuasions of a man's own conscience or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to assemble peaceably, or to keep and bear arms; it would, in any of these cases, be the province of the judiciary to pronounce whether any such act were constitutional, or not; and if not, to acquit the accused from any penalty which might be annexed to the breach of such unconstitutional act."
